A V100 ReIssued: Vintage DNA, the Trev Wilkinson approach
The V100 ReIssued follows the lineage of single cut models that shaped blues and rock. Here, the idea is clear: to recapture the aesthetics and feel of a classic while relying on a reliable and coherent design developed by Trev Wilkinson and the Vintage UK team. The result: an electric guitar ready to withstand rehearsals, studio sessions, and live shows, with an intuitive playability.
For whom and for which styles?
This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for a serious, stable, and expressive instrument without excessive complexity. Its natural playground covers blues, rock, hard rock, and any style requiring solid rhythms, rich crunches, and sustained leads, with a true dynamic range at the pick.
The sound
The two Wilkinson MWVC humbuckers deliver a generous tone, both warm and edgy. In the neck position, you get a velvety roundness, perfect for blues phrasing, thick chords, and long-sustain solos. At the bridge, the attack becomes more incisive: ideal for cutting riffs and solos that stand out in the mix.
The 2 volume / 2 tone wiring allows precise control of each pickup (and sculpts the middle position), while the 3-position selector provides instant access to the three essential textures. The mahogany enhances the mids, note-to-note coherence, and that sense of density that makes single cut formats so charming.
Recommended compatible accessories
To best exploit its character, 6-string electric guitar strings are perfectly suited, with common gauges 09-42 (flexibility) or 10-46 (more tension and attack). A strap (leather or nylon) remains a relevant choice for standing play, and an electric guitar capo will be suitable for chaining covers, arpeggios, and transposed licks with consistent pressure on the neck.
